Fun off-the-cuff kind of show. Thanks!

QOTD: Fried! But a good southern fry, soaked in buttermilk with Tabasco and then floured and fried in a cast-iron skillet.

Absolutely hysterical how Gary cut Mott off from extolling the Giants!

What a laid back working environment the WL staff has. No wonder they’re always so helpful and cool when I call. Can I intern there?

QOTD: How don’t I like chicken? I can tell you this, I only like dark meat. And, like the red bean…is a Japanese thing. But, in no particular order: BBQ’d, fried, adobo, curried, etc.

Being a daily watcher of the show for a year or so now, I obviously love what you’re doing. I have a comment or two about the beginning of your show though. I like the beginning graphics…the animation & the colors are good. I must be honest though, the music is starting to get to me! I end up fast-forwarding the first 10-seconds until your intro because I can’t handle it anymore. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just not music to my ears. Ever think about changing it???

QOTD: Peanut chicken satay

Nice show.

A question. Is the Ask Gary apps in facebook and Ask WLTV page being monitored? I’m not sure how it is working but I notice no response is given to the questions asked.

QOTD: Casbah chicken & couscous (my favorite to make) or the Sonoma(?) quesadilla from a local slightly fusion mexican restaurant (chicken & apples LOL, with melted gouda and almond slices).

Unfortunately Tennessee is stil trying to figure out what grapes do well here, versus what grapes the growers wish did well here. There’s too much rain. North Carolina is a little further along in that respect, especially western piedmont or mountains. Some decent Italian grapes growing there.

And with the new Tennessee shipping law in effect this month, will Wine Library be purchasing a license to ship here???? Think about it.

GV – my Dad lives in Tucson so I was excited you did the show on Arizona wines. Haven’t been to the wineries yet. I’ll try to get my hands on a Callaghan to give it a shot sometime.

QOTD: That’s 2 chicken questions in a week! You must be eating a lot of chicken recently. I’m a HUGE fan of the Peruvian style rotisserie chicken with either fried yucca (or steak fries). There are a ton of good places in the DC area, with the best being El Pollo Rico in Arlington. DELICIOUS!!!

North Carolina Wine TV (Kipp)
Gary,

Love that you did a show based on one of the other 46 states. We have had very similar experience in our reviews of North Carolina Wines. Price is a big issue as well as distribution. We have found that some grapes seem to do very well here.

I hope that would will join us one day on an episode of North Carolina Wine TV. We are happy to come to you.

Great show.

QOTD: Fried of course
